Im planning on putting between 220hp and up to a max of about 280hp i know im going to fit a quafie gear set the car will weigh in at about 650kg and wont be used on the road i have a budget of about £1200

Used road and race a couple of times, very helpful and did good work for me

The dog engagment gearset is the way to go, also lightweight casing. If you searched you could pick up a 26g quaife seq box as they are now surpassed by 60g and have dropped in value. I sold a Quaife alloy dogbox last year for £2200 .

Have a look at tran x I'm running a 4speed dogbox type E same as the type 9 just 4 speed, I think there gear kits are around 700. My 2.3 duratec is turning out
277 Bhp and 220 ft lb torque. Give me a call if you need any specs ie ratios speeds tyre sizes etc.
